[The disadvantages of being his size was that there was very little he could do about being physically overpowered. He knew better than to fight it once he was off-balance, that would only needlessly exhaust him. What he does do is wait for just the right moment- throwing someone take a lot of effort and leaves one open.

So Abelas bides his time and waits until right as he's going down to jam his bony elbow into Sanzo's side for a kidney shot. If he had to go down, he wasn't going to do so quietly. Once he hit the ground himself, he quickly rolled himself away to get some distance while he got to his feet and regrouped.]

[Smart move Abelas. Sure enough Sanzo had left himself open and the shot was a solid one. He winced out, but knew better than to pause. Instead sucking up the sudden short-winded feeling that overcame him as he tumbled slightly right of Abelas. Now was not the time to pause, instead letting the slight pain boost his adrenaline. Pushing himself up from the ground slightly, he swept his own leg out in a low spinning kick towards his opponent, hoping that Abelas hadn't fully recovered from the fall himself.]

[Abelas was working on catching his breath again when the other lashed out with a kick. Fortunately he was quick enough to dodge it by jumping over it, but unfortunately it was preventing him from getting a solid footing again. He was on the defensive, which was far more risky for him than the human.

Not to mention, regardless of his years training, he spent so much time as a ranged fighter his instinct to regroup himself was to pull back to put distance between him and his opponent, thus Abelas gave ground in hopes of putting such a space between them.]

[Watching Abelas jump back to the defensive left Sanzo kneeling there, taking a moments break himself. It would be foolish to run off after his opponent without thought, and the other obviously seemed to be up to something. And so he kept his distance as well, eyeing the elf suspiciously. If this were a ranged battle involving weapons he had his own area of expertise, but this was not the type of fight for that.

And so instead he took the moment to catch his breath, pushing himself up to a stand, before bracing himself in case the bastard decided to charge at him with some sort of magic-fueled attack.]

Don't tell me you're running now.

[Come back Abelas, he was having too much fun for you to leave.]

[getoutofmytemple]

[Abelas begins cautiously circling the other once more, sizing him up, looking for weak points in his form that he could potentially exploit. Also deliberately ignoring the other's taunt, for the moment anyway. He knew better than to be rushed, if the other was so eager to start again then he could make the opening move.

As it was, Abelas had his moment to regroup, he had gotten a taste for what the other was capable of, and was calculating his next move.]

If you are so eager to rush ahead then strike.

[smithandwesson]

[Sanzo keeps a close eye on Abelas as he circled him, slowly turning in order to keep his back away from his opponent. He had no idea what this dudes next move was and he hated it. What he did know though, was that it required him to strike first.]

'Tch. What? So you can take me down with a punch or two? It'll take more than that you know.

[A thought came to him. Abelas wanted him to rush in? Then lets see what happens--

Bracing his stance he sprinted forward, charging directly at his opponent with his all before faking him out, stepping to the side at the last possible minuite. Instead of a direct blow he used the opportunity two twirl around Abelas and attempted to elbow him in the side of his back.]
